New Releases: Most Anticipated Releases April 2020

Well it’s been a crazy few weeks, and I mean CRAZY. No doubt you’re all aware of the current global pandemic, so I won’t labour the point. This has meant however, that a few book launches and events have been pushed back later into the year. Despite all this, there are still some fantastic non-fiction books launching in April which I cannot wait to get my hands on!

Also, I’m not even going to pretend that I am remotely on time with this post …

Described as “A witty, inspiring reckoning with the ancient Greek and Roman myths and their legacy, from what they can illuminate about #MeToo to the radical imagery of Beyoncé” – it sounds right up my street, and I can’t wait to get a fresh perspective on these ancient stories!

The Classical School by Callum Williams explores economic theories through the lives of twenty different economists. Although I have done quite a lot of reading around economic theories, I have never read an individual economists thoughts; so I’m very much looking forward to this unique take on the subject.

It has received great praise, including being described as “short, punchy, and very well-written … a terrific read” by Kevin O’Rourke, author of A Short History of Brexit.

Already published early in eBook and audio formats to help address the issue of loneliness during the Covid-19 crisis, Together explores the loneliness epidemic, it’s history, and potential solutions.

I’m always eager to read about books related to mental health, so Together is right up my street. Even more so, with the timely publication due to the coronavirus crisis. I would also highly recommend The Rules of Contagion – also published by the Wellcome Collection – as another important read at this time.
